About This Feature

Capability Summary	Provides a Paragraph Description entry point in the Smart Forms relay workflow on Windows, where users can open the editor, adjust description content, preview, and confirm.	Microsoft Forms lets users add a section title and subtitle to provide more context for questions in that section.	Google Forms lets users add descriptions, headers, and sections to organize form content by topic.	Notion Forms lets users add an optional form description and add a Description to individual questions.	Acrobat web forms let creators add instructions for participants during web form setup.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The description step is placed directly in the relay creation flow, making it easier to configure guidance and confirm the result in one editing path.	Compared with WPS: The official guidance focuses on section title and subtitle context inside Microsoft Forms sections.	Compared with WPS: Description support is available across form descriptions and sections, but the workflow is centered on a general-purpose form editor.	Compared with WPS: Form and question descriptions are supported, while some advanced form options depend on plan type.	Compared with WPS: Instruction support is tied to Acrobat web form and e-sign workflows, which target a different use case.

Overall Conclusion

WPS Paragraph Description is closely aligned with relay creation on Windows, so it fits users who want to add explanatory text without leaving the same editing flow. Other products also support descriptions, sections, or instructions, but they are positioned around general forms, database-backed forms, or e-sign web forms rather than the same relay workflow.
